Default Man Rushed Exit, Bit Crew Member

From Associated Press:

A 39-year-old man is in police custody Monday morning after he tried to rush the exit door of an Alaska Airlines jet as it was taxiing to a gate at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Airport spokesman Perry Cooper says passengers and the crew had to subdue the man, who was apparently anxious to get off the plane. One crew member was bitten in the arm during the scuffle and was taken to Highline Medical Center in Burien for treatment of minor injuries.
The man was taken to Highline for a mental health evaluation, before being transferred to King County Jail. He was expected to be booked on investigation of felony assault.
Flight 108 from Anchorage, Alaska, landed in Seattle at about 4:30 a.m. Monday. Cooper says no other airport operations were affected.

Hopefully he won't get away with assaulting a crewmember (like those two brothers who beat up an AA CA) and will have Federal charges brought upon him.

I was on the parking lot bus with the FAs who picked up the plane from them this morning. They said the FOs arm looked pretty bad. MOD EDIT: COMMENT REMOVED FOR SECURITY

I hope the FO managed to land a few blows on this a-hole.

I know what would have been "wrong" with him if I'd have been there....

I am sick and tired of whakadoos on airplanes.

Rumor is it was an MVP gold in first class. Possibly a medical condition or reaction to drugs.
